Yeah, I think the Steelers showed how to bring a QB along. Ben was limited to 20ish throws a game (average) but they could afford that cause of their line and running game.

The Cowboys and Dak had a similar approach, Dak averaged 7 throws a game more....but neither team relied on the QB game in and game out.

Yeah. Dak was of course still 30th in the league in attempts. As you know 7 more throws a game in this era is probably roughly equivalent to what BR did in his era, given that the league throws more now. The BR Steelers were 32nd in passing attempts...and 1st in rushing attempts. Last year Dallas was also 1st in rushing attempts.

I would imagine Goff might have looked a little better last year if the Rams could run the ball. BTW I put that (lack of a run game) on both the OL AND Gurley. I don't think Gurley was his 2015 self last year. From the looks of things right now, he seems to be making an effort to fix that....
